About this ebook

This story is about the children of Altonan and Stephanie Arkonan, Altonan the Third, and Sara Elizabeth. After bringing them up on the Wyoming ranch where Stephanie grew up, the Lord of the Earth decides he's had enough of the constant turmoil produced by the denizens of that planet, and convinces his wife to move to Novu Ang Heloca, the place where the remnants of his own people are flourishing. Unfortunately, trouble followed him and he and his whole family have to solve a few interstellar incidents. Altonan and Stephanie allow their offspring to take the reins as they try to ease into retirement.

Author

William Hyde

Throughout the last part of his working life as a locomotive engineer, Bill Hyde dreamed of this story. Upon retirement he couldn't get the story out of his head, and finally, reluctantly putting fingers to keyboard he started to write it. At last, after years of slow-going, he finished the story. He lives in the Cariboo region of British Columbia,Canada with his wife and almost grown children, and he is now working on the next book of this trilogy.
